Most children brought up in brooklyn before the first world war remember thanksgiving day there with a peculiar tenderness. it was the day children went around “ragamuffin” or “slamming gates,” wearing costumes topped off by a penny mask. how does smith use language to reveal setting? she uses syntax such as “first world war” and “thanksgiving day.” she uses themes such as “first world war” and “thanksgiving day.” she uses diction such as “first world war” and “thanksgiving day.” she uses diction to structure the words in a way to make them easier to understand.

The correct answer should be she uses themes such as “first world war” and “thanksgiving day.”

This helps build the setting by pointing out to the time period that is being discussed, and then even further zooming in by showing it around thanksgiving.
